I often have a manfiest constant WHO_CARES,
#define WHO_CARES (void*)012345
or some such.
Is it a default initialization value that has no meaning for
the program logic? Seems a great approach to this problem!
I will carefully read the book "The Practice of Programming"
from Brian Kernighan looking for other possible workarounds
to this matter. I agree with you, that constant looks great
to initialize variables that does not need to be initialized
to 0. As Oliver Kiddle said, initializing a variable to a
given value can make people to believe that the variable
must be assigned that value in the code.
Thanks for your feedback on this matter. I will probably use
a preprocessor definition like this one in the future.
Best regards,
Igor.
